The second day of the twelfth lunar month in 1998. The Uemuka grocery store officially opened.

Although the store is open at home, because of Su Manjin's suggestion, Zeng Meiyue negotiated cooperation with a supplier, and the supplier made store signs for the grocery store for free, and the grocery store provided free advertising space for the supplier to do brand promotion.

Zeng Meiyue's house sits in the north and faces south, the southwest is the kitchen, and the west side of the house is close to the country road.

The south side is the foundation left by the family to Su Yutian, because it has not yet been built, the south side of Zeng Meiyue's house is not blocked, and the small yard reserved at the door of his house is not blocked, and the display side of the grocery store is still very good.

Zeng Meiyue listened to Su Manjin's suggestion, contacted the wholesale suppliers in the town, and made a big wall advertisement on the exterior wall of the kitchen near the village road.

- "Snow beer, selected high-quality barley, carefully brewed, aromatic and mellow, quenching thirst, stomach and refreshing, rich in nutrition. ”

At the same time, a signboard was also hung on the exterior wall on the south side of the kitchen.

- "Meiyue grocery store, Arowana - Jinguang Shenzhou flash." ”

Early that morning, after breakfast, the family gathered in the store to help prepare.

Zeng Meiyue had already sorted out the goods in the store clean and tidy.

Su Yuhui put the change in exchange for money in the drawer and stacked it one by one according to the face value, so that it was convenient to give change to customers.

Su Yumei was busy preparing tea in the kitchen, the tea was Tieguanyin for 10 yuan a catty, and she was usually reluctant to drink it at home, but today was an important day, so she should naturally take it out to entertain customers.

Su Jinshun and Zhou Xiuni took out the square table and all the chairs in the house and placed them in the courtyard outside the house, where customers could sit and rest or chat.

Su Yutian broke his leg and hadn't recovered yet, but he couldn't help being lonely, so he asked Su Yumei to help him come and sit at the door of the store, saying that he wanted to help his sister-in-law shout and shout popularity.

Su Jinyang flew around like a little bee, uh, running around happily. Su Manjin was afraid that he would bump into him, so he stopped him, holding him with one hand, the little doll was also easy to talk, and followed his sister obediently after a while.

Some relatives and neighbors came to the store one after another, and some customers were attracted through the "Opening Reward" leaflet.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the auspicious time arrived, and the sound of firecrackers sounded on time.

"Mei Yue, I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money!"

"Yuhui, I wish you all a prosperous business on June 66!"

"The store is open, the business is good, the financial luck is good, and the days are getting better and better!"

Many neighbors smiled and blessed, and the scene was lively.

"Sister, congratulations on the opening of the new store, send my congratulations, send you a beckoning cat, may you have a lot of money!" Zeng Huashan handed over a simple golden beckoning cat ornament, very happy.

"Congratulations, congratulations, send a pair of fortune trees, may you have abundant wealth! I'll put it in front of the store for you! Su Yuhui's sworn brother Du Rongzhi smiled heartily and said loudly.

"Sister, business is booming, sister, I'll give you a little red envelope, I wish you a lot of money!" Zeng Qiongyue smiled and handed over the red envelope.

"Your brother-in-law went to work today, and specially asked me to bring Xiaojuan over to pick up some things that are commonly used at home, saying that I have to support my sister-in-law's business."

"Second brother and sister-in-law, congratulations, we have arranged a flower basket and made a bed of hair cakes, I hope you have today every year, and you have a future every year." Su Yuhui's cousins also came over to be lively, because Su Yuhui is the second in the family, and he is usually very righteous to his brothers, and everyone has a good relationship.

......

The guests all smiled and congratulated Zeng Meiyue's family, and the Su family also hurriedly handed tea to the guests and invited everyone to sit and rest.

"Mei Yue, these leaflets you sent before for the opening of the big offer, do the preferential prices mentioned above still count?" A fellow in the old village asked.

He's here today for a discounted price. The bazaar rice in the outer street costs 1 yuan a catty, but this leaflet is only 8 cents 5, although the purchase limit is 10 catties, it can also save a piece of five, which is equivalent to spending the same price to buy an extra catty or two catties of rice.

Zeng Meiyue responded with a smile: "Uncle Qiu, of course it counts!" You see what is written on the list, as long as the total amount of goods you buy today reaches 30 yuan, this rice will be counted as 8 cents and 5 yuan for you, and 10 catties of a total of eight yuan and five are also counted in 30 yuan. ”

"That Yuhui's family, your salt is also 2 cents cheaper than the outer street market, right?"

Zeng Meiyue patiently replied: "Yes, uncles and aunts, the opening activities of our small store will last from today to December 15. ”

"You can choose any two kinds of goods to refer to the preferential price on the leaflet, as long as the total amount of goods purchased each time reaches 30 yuan, you can enjoy the preferential price of those two goods. You can only choose a maximum of two types of discounted products. ”

As soon as the guests heard Zeng Meiyue's explanation, they began to discuss it.

"Like this rice, you have to eat it at home anyway, buy 10 catties for 8 yuan 5, and then choose some other commonly used goods, you can get a lot of discounts."

"Yes, in addition to the promotional goods on the leaflet, the prices of other goods in the store are the same as those sold on the street, choose some commonly used collocations, anyway, sooner or later, you have to buy, first take a look at the goods, we don't lose, but also make money."

"It's all neighbors, as long as the price is reasonable, we must support our neighbors/cousins' businesses."

As they talked, they went into the store to buy the goods they needed.

Zeng Meiyue prepared some plastic bags for the guests to choose directly. Rice and pasta miscellaneous products, handled by themselves, and it is not like the outside stores will mix broken noodles into it, and the big guys are very satisfied.

Zeng Meiyue was busy introducing goods and answering inquiries from customers.

Su Manjin was busy weighing and bookkeeping, and totaling the amount of goods selected by each guest.

Su Yuhui is in charge of the cashier and is responsible for collecting money for guests.

Su Yumei helped the guests bag the settled goods.

Zhou Xiuni and Su Jinshun accompanied some of the guests waiting in line to chat.

Even Su Yutian, who has inconvenient legs and feet, also helps take care of Xiao Jinyang and greet guests.

The family is busy.

It happened to be the second day of the new year, and it was the day of worship to the land lord every month. When Zeng Meiyue bought the goods, she specially prepared a box of shortbread and mung bean cake, so that everyone could buy a fruit box to go home and worship.

In less than an hour, each customer took two packets, and most of the boxes of each type of cake were sold.

After buying goods, the customers carried their things home, and some new customers came one after another.

After settling the accounts for more than 30 guests in the morning, Su Manjin was a little tired, but he was also happy.

It is not in vain that she worked hard to promote the opening some time ago, and it seems that it still has some effect.

After this half a day, the turnover is estimated to be more than 1,000 yuan, the profit margin is calculated at 10%, and the income is 100 yuan.

Although so many people are busy together, and the average income of one person is not much, but this is the first day of business, and the focus is not on income, but on the reputation of opening a grocery store in his own family.

When these guests go back in the morning, word of mouth will definitely spread. Approaching the end of the year, everyone has to prepare New Year's goods, so they will naturally take advantage of the preferential activities during the opening period to come and purchase, so that the grocery store will not have to worry about this month's business. If the reputation is out, it can also leave some repeat customers.

Taking advantage of the relatively small number of customers, the Su family was happily cleaning up the environment in the store, but they didn't want to welcome an uninvited guest.
